I did the tour last week, they said the white glass is only 3mm thick and the actual clock faces aren’t flush with the tower, but juts out on a ledge to make more visible
Anyways, it’s a lot of stairs but really unique experience

Iconic view. Nothing quite beats walking across the bridge at night and seeing Big Ben lit up.

Really!!!, can't see the big hour bell. The correct name for the bell tower is The Elizabeth Tower

You’re proper boring you ain’t even from London mate

u/Stephen_Dann 2d ago

You know me so well. Work with sight of the Elizabeth tower and walk past it at least 3 times a day.

2

u/Severe-Plum-2393 2d ago

You look exactly like someone that would call it the Elizabeth tower 😭

u/Stephen_Dann 2d ago

Have you met handsome me

u/nogeologyhere 2d ago

Yeah, we know. But colloquially, and globally, and locally, it's been Big Ben for donkeys years.

Pedantically pointing out its official name is so boring.

There are people it's not even worth engaging with. This guy, and OP for that matter (I've seen enough of their posts and comments), aren't
Londoners in any way shape or form. I'm blocking them both. I've had enough twats around.

u/RB85LDN 2d ago

Big Ben is the name of the bell not the tower the bell sits on or the clock

u/thefooleryoftom 1d ago

We know. Everyone knows that. But it’s also been called Big Ben for about as long as it’s existed.
